Causes of Polycystic Ovarian Disease

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common syndrome in women, and with the indifference of many female patients, the incidence of polycystic ovary syndrome is getting higher and higher. As a disease of endocrine and metabolic abnormalities, the causes of polycystic ovary syndrome are very complicated. The harm caused by polycystic ovary to women's health is also very large, and it is necessary to find out the cause and treat it with medicine in time.

Causes of Polycystic Ovarian Disease

1. Hypothalamic-pituitary function problems

Hypothalamic-pituitary function problems are the key reason why women cannot get pregnant, which is reflected in the fact that aromatase converts excessive male hormones in the female patient's jugular vein into unnecessary male hormones, or abnormal metabolism of steroid hormones produced by the female ovaries. Finally, it causes the female patient to ovulate slowly.

2. Hyperprolactinuria

Because many patients with polycystic ovary have pRL protein kinase in their adrenal cytoplasm, which in turn secretes androgens to stimulate female adrenal cells. This is the reflection of hyperprolactinuria in patients with polycystic ovary.

3. Abnormal adrenal function

The vast majority of female patients will have metabolic abnormalities and abnormalities in the relationship between the hypothalamus-pituitary-uterine ovarian axis. These are all caused by the continuous increase in the metabolism of male hormones due to adrenaline in patients with PCOS.

4. Genetic factors

Some women with polycystic ovary syndrome also have symptoms due to abnormalities in the number and structure of chromosome X and the absence of the long arm of chromosome X. Although most patients have normal karyotypes, this is probably caused by the inheritance of dominant genes.

Early symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome

1. Menstrual disorders: The most common symptom of cystic ovarian syndrome is irregular menstruation. Patients usually experience infrequent menstruation and amenorrhea. Many patients also experience uterine bleeding, and the menstrual cycle and menstrual volume are very irregular.

2. Infertility: Polycystic ovary syndrome can hinder women's ovulation period, leading to infertility.

3. Excessive hair and acne: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome usually have excessive hair, which is caused by hyperandrogenism, causing the growth of hair on women's bodies to show a male tendency. It can also cause oily skin and acne in women, which is because the patient's body's excessive androgen stimulates the sebaceous glands.

4. Obesity: More than half of the patients with polycystic ovary syndrome suffer from obesity, which is the most clinical symptom of this disease.
